GO SEEK HER OUT ALL COURTEOUSLY

by: James Joyce (1882-1941)

      O seek her out all courteously,
      And say I come,
      Wind of spices whose song is ever
      Epithalamium.
      O, hurry over the dark lands
      And run upon the sea
      For seas and land shall not divide us
      My love and me.
       
      Now, wind, of your good courtesy
      I pray you go,
      And come into her little garden
      And sing at her window;
      Singing: The bridal wind is blowing
      For Love is at his noon;
      And soon will your true love be with you,
      Soon, O soon.

'Go seek her out all courteously' is reprinted from Chamber Music. James Joyce. London: Elkin Mathews, 1907.
